Give me your opinions on whether I should go Undead or Troll (I do pve)

Go for looks.

Going for minmax deeps is silly. Boss isn't going to die because of a ~3% dps increase of one person; And if that ~3% dps increase does kill the boss, odds are your raid needs more gear/skills/practice/etc.

Well if anyone is serious about maximizing DPS you will race change (again) in WoD regardless if you change now for looks or DPS. You shouldn't even consider a change now for DPS if you wont rethink your decision in WoD release & care about your output that much

Just because people do something for a reason doesn't make that reason valid. Frost DPS gets a net reduction of 0.05% and people cry 'NERF BAT FROST IS DEAD OMFG!" and the mass reaction is to re-roll Fire. Doesn't matter that the average result is that Frost hasn't lost any DPS; not enough players read the patch notes or the dev conversations or do their own testing so they listen to the vocal minority.

It's the same with racials. Someone out there at one point did some theory math and it shows that if you do X and Y without flaw AND happen to be Race Z you can optimize your DPS a further N%. It's nothing but simcraft because in order for the racial to make an appreciable difference you have to perform at an extremely high level of play, have RNG in your favor for crits and procs, be fully buffed, never miss a GCD and depending on your class never ever have to move or switch targets.

So sure. If maximizing your DPS to that degree seems purposeful... pick the best racial.

there was time when i was in chase "top dps" changing race few times, and racials are VERY small benefit, u must be in very top of players to get benefit from it but still troll racial is good orc also
